Being born in 1958, I can remember the sixties.
The seventies, however, were another matter.............................

Has anyone spotted the annual April Fool joke in their daily newspaper yet? I think my paper (Guardian) spoof is on page 2, with a tasteful advert for a BMW P.R.A.M. in baby blue or princess pink...very tasteful. All us doting grans need to contact Joe.King for details

I would have entered but I've done that trip a few times 
I started a job with a water authority on April 1st one year. The work was collecting data for a 5 year project that was due to end in the December. It involved travelling to certain areas in the county measuring the levels and flow rate of water. The year was 1976.
Well, there was a lot less than had been anticipated. The spring water in the cress beds still flowed but a fair few of the wells had dried up. If I recall correctly, the winter made up for it. From the sublime to the ridiculous.
